Here in Edmonton, we made a bunch of roster moves right after rookie camp without ever seeing the players play in a game. The Eskimos also brought in a CIS quarterback (his name escapes me now) to throw. It would be neat to have this played in a smaller venue as well. Good idea Jon.

Hey Gizzie,

What if the first of the three preseason games was more of a scrimmage type of situation, where basically only the rookies play?

Having only two pre-season games is perfect. By the time the only home pre-season game roles around, fans in most cities are looking forward to checking out the competition for roster spots. Edmonton had 33,708 fans at their pre-season game on Sunday (there are only three stadiums in the CFL that could accomodate this large of crowd), so the the thought that pre-season games are not financially viable is out the window, but if they started to extend it, maybe there wouldn't be as much interest as there is in that one game. Adding an extra pre-season game would also only mean that there would be one less regular season game. Not cool. Sorry Jon, but you were taking up a losing cause on this one.
